The Brides or The Widows (Baby Jenks and maybe Gabi.. I will admit this is my weakest one but something with Baby Jenks sounds fun! So maybe this ep would mostly be setting up everyone? I mean Lestat is kinda Akasha’s bride….)

The Watchers (Talamasca but specifically Rashid and Raglan)

The Devils Minion (self explanatory)

The Ancients (Pandora, Lemuel/Seth???, Khayman)

The Princes Court (Louis, Armand, Daniel, Seth, Gabi, Fareed, the Band, misc others we’ve already seen, with flashbacks for some of them to go over some missing items from TVL?? Idk I kinda want this ep to end with the Twins showing up randomly lol)

The Keeper (Marius/Alashas story together and her breaking out)

The Twins (Gotta get their backstory with Akasha somehow, we could also do all of Akasha’s story at the same time in the previous episode)

The Brat (if we do the Keeper and the Twins in one above, we could have an episode of Lestat’s POV and retelling of some of the missing TVL bits? I also think Lestat and Akasha would be in most episodes so it could happen throughout the season. The title here is fun though cause it could show how hes lied about some s3 stuff and that even when faced with God herself hes still defiant)

Just thought of this DM theory about s2e8… which has snatched my sanity and won’t give it back, no matter how much I beg.

There’s still a sliver of a chance that Regina is Merrick, so I’m hanging onto that for dear life during the hiatus. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Context:

Why not let Daniel keep some of his individualistic thoughts and keen journalistic eye???

At first I was taken aback by this version of him, the lost light keeper vibes and the manic way he speaks, however upon further reflection I think this is really, really good. Marius has to be a more familiar version of himself in ancient Roman times, during his time in Italy and of course with Armand…

However, after the tragedies that separate them, I think it makes sense that 1) he would not try to find companionship in humans or vampires alike afterwards and 2) he would go a little mad locked away with the king and queen. This also leads to him leaving Enkil in the sunlight, which I’ve talked about previously how I think Akasha went up to get him (and kills him in a fit of rage) and that’s why they burned across the world.

I didn’t like that he was the one to do it, however this version of Marius in this point in time *could* have done it where book!Marius could not have. So combining his mental state and the tragedy he inflicted upon their kind, it makes sense that he’s now come to the realization that he’s lost himself. And Akasha comes to this same conclusion as well.

I think this leaves us with a juicy character arc to go on with him, from his origins (if we get to see them, which I hope so cause I love Pandora so much) through to his time with Armand, up to meeting Lestat, and ending in the present day. Not to mention the journey he can go on in the present day, especially if Armand and him meet face to face again.

I’m just excited to see what they do with him and wanted to share. Oh, also his line delivery and accent work in this episode has bewitched me, body and soul. ☺️

Here’s hoping Alex gets some of his personality back and takes on some version of his brother in there too.

While Lestat looks to Armand instead

Because his love seems to bind him to Lestat’s point of view

But this is how Lestat retells the end

But why would mercy killing Nicki be a “very brave thing” for Armand to do for him. In this moment?

My imagination has run wild, with help from others theorizing there’s more to Nicki’s death than we saw in s3, and I can’t help but ask, why did Gabriella go to coffin?

Why not stick around for more laughs and the opportunity to get rid of Nicki? To remove the main obstacle between her and total control over Lestat?

Not even our abusers can escape their own abusers.
